From The Tribes And Castes Of The Central Provinces Of India

By R. V. Russell

Rajput: Baghel

The Baghel Rajputs, who have given their name to Baghelkhand or Rewah, the eastern part of Central India, are a branch of the Chalukya or Solankhi clan, one of the four Agnikulas or those born from the firepit on Mount Abu.

The chiefs of Rewah are Baghel Rajputs, and the late Maharaja Raghuraj Singh has written a traditional history of the sept in a book called the Bhakt Mala} He derives their origin from a child, having the form of a tiger {bdgh), who was born to the Solankhi Raja of Gujarat at the intercession of the famous saint Kabir.

One of the headquarters of the Kabirpanthi sect are at Kawardha, which is close to Rewah, and the ruling family are members of the sect ; hence probably the association of the Prophet with their origin. The Bombay Gazetteer^ states that the founder of the clan was one Anoka, a nephew of the Solankhi king of Gujarat, Kumarpal (a.d. ii 43-1 174).


He obtained a grant of the village Vaghela, the tiger's lair, about ten miles from Anhilvada, the capital of the Solankhi dynasty, and the Baghel clan takes its name from this village. Subsequently the Baghels extended their power over the whole of Gujarat, but in A.D. 1304 the last king, Karnadeva, was driven out by the Muhammadans, and one of his most beautiful wives was captured and sent to the emperor's harem. Karnadeva and his daughter fled and hid themselves near Nasik, but the daughter was subsequently also taken, while it is not stated what became of Karnadeva.


Mr. Hira Lai suggests that he fled towards Rewah, and that he is the Karnadeva of the list of Rewah Rajas, who married a daughter of the Gond-Rajput dynasty of Garha-Mandla.^ At any rate the Baghel branch of the Solankhis apparently migrated to Rewah from Gujarat and founded that State 1 Mr. Crooke's Tribes and Castes, called Pi-atdp Vinod, written by Khan art. Baghel. Bahadur Rahmat Ali Khan, and trans- '^ Vol. i. part i. p. 198. latcd by Thakur Pratap Singh, Revenue 3 See also a history of the Baghels, Commissioner of Rewah.


about the fourteenth century, as in the fifteenth they became prominent. According to Captain Forsyth, the l^aghels claim descent from a tiger, and protect it when they can ; and, probably, as suggested by Mr. Crooke,^ the name is really totemistic, or is derived from some ancestor of the clan who obtained the name of the tiger as a title or nickname, like the American Red Indians. The Baghels are found in the Hoshangfibad District, and in Mandla and Chhattisgarh which are close to Rewah. Amarkantak, at the source of the Nerbudda, is the sepulchre of the Maharajas of Rewah, and was ceded to them with the Sohagpur tahsll of Mandla • after the Mutiny, in consideration of their loyalty and services during that period.
